After struggling with the valves of so many other diverters that rust and stick and do not give me the control I need to set up soaker hoses, this is finally one control valve that works! Very high quality connections, heavy duty and leak-proof body. Very easy to control water flow.The only concern I have is the plastic valves could break. I have used several of these for clients and have not had a problem so far with that. I try not to place them on the ground, or if they are on the ground I will place them in a control box to protect them.
Works easily, is not fragile...love it!
